Man Who Would Be King The
|
00:03:52 |
I've come back. |
00:03:58 |
Give me a drink, Brother Kipling. |
00:04:08 |
Don't you know me? |
00:04:11 |
No. I don't know you. |
00:04:16 |
Who are you? |
00:04:19 |
What can I do for you? |
00:04:20 |
I told you. Give me a drink. |
00:04:55 |
It was all settled. |
00:05:02 |
Remember? |
00:05:04 |
Danny and me signed the contract |
00:05:10 |
You... |
00:05:14 |
...stood over there. |
00:05:18 |
I stood there. |
00:05:20 |
And Daniel stood here. |
00:05:24 |
Remember? |
00:05:28 |
Carnehan! |
00:05:32 |
Peachy Taliaferro Carnehan. |
00:05:36 |
Of course. |
00:05:38 |
Keep looking at me. It helps |
00:05:43 |
Carnehan! |
00:05:45 |
The same, and not the same, |
00:05:49 |
...in a first-class carriage |
00:05:53 |
...three summers |
00:06:06 |
Jodhpur, please. |
00:06:28 |
Blast! |
00:06:48 |
All aboard! |
00:08:06 |
May I? |
00:08:09 |
Riding in this ashcart is like being |
00:08:38 |
Mr. Clutterbury Das. |
00:08:40 |
Failed entrance examination, |
00:08:45 |
Writer of correspondence |
00:08:49 |
Shut up! |
00:08:50 |
Thank you, sir. |
00:09:41 |
- Out of the window, Babu! |
00:09:45 |
Outside, you inky-fingered thief! |
00:09:48 |
- I hope you break your neck! |
00:09:51 |
- You might have killed him! |
00:09:55 |
- We're not making five miles an hour. |
00:10:01 |
- I caught him stealing your watch. |
00:10:07 |
I say, it is my watch! |
00:10:10 |
Well! |
00:10:14 |
I'm very much obliged to you, Mr...? |
00:10:17 |
Carnehan. Former gunnery sergeant |
00:10:22 |
Mine's Kipling. |
00:10:23 |
- May I offer you a drink? |
00:10:32 |
You've knocked about India a bit, |
00:10:35 |
You can say that twice! |
00:10:40 |
- You don't look green, either. |
00:10:43 |
Great country, or was till bureaucrats |
00:10:48 |
- I hope you're not one of them! |
00:10:51 |
I didn't think so. |
00:10:52 |
They usually have long noses |
00:10:56 |
And I've yet to have |
00:11:01 |
- Glenlivet, 12 years old. |
00:11:04 |
I have an educated taste in whiskey, |
00:11:08 |
But I've had few chances |
00:11:11 |
Because them that governs |
00:11:14 |
...to stop men like us |
00:11:17 |
Whose loss is it? |
00:11:20 |
If we were unrestrained, she wouldn't |
00:11:24 |
...it would be 700 millions! Right? |
00:11:29 |
- Where are you heading for? |
00:11:32 |
- Will you return on this line? |
00:11:36 |
Can you make it eight? |
00:11:39 |
...travelling through Marwar Junction |
00:11:43 |
He expects to meet |
00:11:46 |
I'm sorry, I can't help you there. |
00:11:48 |
Supposing I was to ask you... |
00:11:51 |
...as a stranger going to the West |
00:11:55 |
What would you say then? |
00:11:58 |
I should answer, |
00:12:01 |
From the East. |
00:12:02 |
I am hoping that you will give |
00:12:06 |
...for the sake of the widow's son. |
00:12:09 |
- Which lodge do you hail from? |
00:12:14 |
The Queen's Own Royal Loyal Light |
00:12:19 |
- To whom is the message? |
00:12:21 |
- Dravot. |
00:12:25 |
A great swell. |
00:12:26 |
You'll find him |
00:12:29 |
Don't be afraid. |
00:12:31 |
Slip the window down and say, |
00:12:36 |
- "Peachy's gone south for the week." |
00:12:40 |
Well, I'll be getting off now |
00:12:47 |
By the way, Brother Carnehan... |
00:12:51 |
I missed my watch |
00:12:54 |
...before boarding the train. |
00:12:57 |
How was I to know you were a Mason? |
00:13:26 |
What's this? |
00:13:27 |
God's holy trousers! |
00:13:30 |
Is your name Dravot, sir? |
00:13:35 |
I'm to say that Peachy |
00:13:47 |
He's gone south for the week. |
00:13:49 |
Did he say I'd give anything for this? |
00:13:52 |
- No, he didn't. |
00:13:55 |
For the sake of the widow's son. |
00:14:01 |
- He said south, did he? |
00:14:03 |
Then that'll be Degumber. |
00:14:06 |
Since you're Peachy's pal, |
00:14:09 |
We're gonna put the screw on the rajah |
00:14:14 |
Filled her with peppers |
00:14:18 |
You mean you intend to blackmail him? |
00:14:20 |
You wouldn't get out alive! If they |
00:14:26 |
Both's been tried. |
00:14:29 |
The rajah's an independent ruler. |
00:14:33 |
How will you put the screw on him? |
00:14:36 |
By telling him we're correspondents |
00:14:40 |
You can't! You can't do that! |
00:14:44 |
Because I am the correspondent |
00:14:48 |
- You what? |
00:14:53 |
Eh? What did you say, brother? |
00:15:01 |
As you know, |
00:15:05 |
...so there's a question |
00:15:08 |
But a charge of conspiracy |
00:15:12 |
I didn't lay this information before |
00:15:17 |
Only to save their lives. |
00:15:19 |
May I ask what particular interest |
00:15:23 |
Well, they happen to be... |
00:15:27 |
...Freemasons. Like myself. |
00:15:29 |
Freemasons? Them? I'd think |
00:15:33 |
Oh, once a Mason, always a Mason. |
00:15:36 |
Never could understand how |
00:15:41 |
...wearing aprons and sashes |
00:15:46 |
What is Masonry, Kipling? |
00:15:48 |
It's an ancient order... |
00:15:50 |
...dedicated to the brotherhood |
00:15:54 |
We should have left that behind |
00:15:59 |
There are tales that it did work here, |
00:16:03 |
Some audacious scholars |
00:16:05 |
...to the builders |
00:16:08 |
- Old wives' tales, I suspect. |
00:16:14 |
Well, let's have a look |
00:16:24 |
Right turn. |
00:16:30 |
Halt. |
00:16:32 |
Hats off! |
00:16:35 |
You men are not under arrest... |
00:16:38 |
...thanks to Mr. Kipling, who's a real |
00:16:43 |
But both of you richly deserve |
00:16:48 |
I have your records before me. |
00:16:50 |
There's everything |
00:16:53 |
...receiving stolen goods |
00:16:57 |
I resent the accusation. |
00:16:59 |
It is blackmail to threaten |
00:17:03 |
What blackmail is there in accepting |
00:17:07 |
How did you propose to do that? |
00:17:10 |
Telling the editor what I know |
00:17:13 |
...and a certain government official. |
00:17:16 |
Let him put that in his paper |
00:17:24 |
You should have gone home |
00:17:27 |
To what? A porter's uniform |
00:17:31 |
Tips for closing cab doors |
00:17:35 |
Not for us, after watching |
00:17:38 |
...when the officers had copped it! |
00:17:42 |
There may be no criminal charges, but |
00:17:47 |
...with the advice you be |
00:17:51 |
Detriments to the empire and the raj. |
00:17:54 |
Detriments you call us? Detriments? |
00:17:57 |
Detriments like us built this bloody |
00:18:03 |
Hats on! |
00:18:05 |
About turn! |
00:18:07 |
By the left, quick march! |
00:18:11 |
Left turn! |
00:18:18 |
There's no need to let any of this |
00:18:24 |
No, no, no. |
00:18:31 |
Copy. |
00:19:01 |
My God! You two! |
00:19:05 |
- We want to ask you a favour. |
00:19:09 |
Calm down, we've never taken |
00:19:14 |
We don't want money, |
00:19:17 |
...a look at a book or two, |
00:19:20 |
We'll take a drink, but if not, |
00:19:23 |
Peachy is as sober as I am. |
00:19:27 |
So we'll take one of your cigars |
00:19:34 |
...light up. |
00:19:46 |
And now, sir... |
00:19:47 |
...let me introduce you to Brother |
00:19:52 |
...and Brother Daniel Dravot, |
00:19:57 |
The less said about our jobs, |
00:20:02 |
We've been all over India. We know |
00:20:07 |
We have decided |
00:20:10 |
The commissioner said that. |
00:20:12 |
We're going to another place... |
00:20:14 |
...where a man isn't crowded |
00:20:18 |
We're not little men, |
00:20:22 |
- Kings of Kafiristan. |
00:20:25 |
We hear they have two and 30 idols |
00:20:31 |
It's a place of warring tribes, |
00:20:35 |
...for such who can train |
00:20:38 |
We'll go there |
00:20:41 |
"Want to vanquish your foes?" |
00:20:46 |
We'll fight for him, make him king |
00:20:50 |
We'll seize his royal throne |
00:20:53 |
How's that for a plan? |
00:20:57 |
You're both out of your minds! |
00:21:01 |
To start with... |
00:21:04 |
...the only way to get there |
00:21:10 |
Kafiristan? No, no, no. |
00:21:13 |
Two white men would be cut to pieces |
00:21:19 |
Just suppose we managed it. |
00:21:22 |
And suppose we got across |
00:21:26 |
There's the Hindu Kush, |
00:21:31 |
A party of geographers tried several |
00:21:36 |
No white man has ever been there |
00:21:41 |
Alexander who? |
00:21:43 |
Alexander the Great, king of Greece. |
00:21:47 |
If a Greek can do it, we can do it. |
00:21:50 |
Right. |
00:21:53 |
I can only repeat, |
00:21:57 |
Would a pair of lunatics |
00:22:03 |
"This contract between us, pursuing |
00:22:08 |
One: We will settle this together, |
00:22:13 |
Two: We will not, while this |
00:22:17 |
...or any woman, so as to get mix ed |
00:22:22 |
Three: We act |
00:22:24 |
If one is in trouble, the other stays |
00:22:29 |
There's no need for the last article, |
00:22:34 |
Daniel. |
00:23:06 |
Now, you witness it and it's legal. |
00:23:26 |
Well, gentlemen, |
00:23:30 |
Don't stand on politeness. If you want |
00:23:36 |
Thank you. |
00:23:37 |
We'll send word when we're ready |
00:23:42 |
Yes. Well, try not to burn |
00:23:50 |
Here we are. |
00:23:53 |
"Kafiristan. 10, 000 square miles. |
00:23:57 |
Religion unknown. Population unknown. |
00:24:00 |
Conquered by Alexander in 328 B.C. |
00:24:04 |
According to Herodotus, |
00:24:10 |
...whose daughter Roxanne |
00:24:24 |
You buy from me, |
00:24:27 |
Very cheap, very nice things for you, |
00:24:49 |
Our forward continuance is impeded |
00:24:53 |
...you will accompany him that he may |
00:24:58 |
- What thing? |
00:25:02 |
Therefore, I suspect |
00:25:05 |
...to entice you into |
00:25:08 |
...where he will take you, |
00:25:11 |
...cut your throat and rob the money |
00:25:16 |
Crikey! |
00:25:17 |
- Wait at the office! |
00:25:20 |
Myself, I will take you |
00:25:23 |
You will be very happy |
00:25:53 |
Morning to you, brother. |
00:25:55 |
Glad you caught the performance. |
00:25:59 |
It's convincing, |
00:26:02 |
Last week it was kings |
00:26:06 |
- We've gotta get there first. |
00:26:11 |
Who'd hurt some poor crazy priest |
00:26:14 |
Peachy worked this out. |
00:26:17 |
He talks, while I act dumb. |
00:26:20 |
I can clown pretty good now. |
00:26:22 |
I can twitch to put the fear |
00:26:25 |
I can froth at the mouth. |
00:26:28 |
- I can imagine. |
00:26:31 |
Come over here. |
00:26:38 |
Give it a touch-up down here. |
00:26:43 |
- Rifles? |
00:26:47 |
Cost us every sou we got |
00:26:51 |
Good heavens! |
00:26:54 |
Of course, Brother Kipling. |
00:26:56 |
God help you |
00:26:59 |
Gunrunning isn't exactly new to us. |
00:27:02 |
Well, Brother Kipling, |
00:27:06 |
Man, don't do it! |
00:27:09 |
The odds are too great. |
00:27:11 |
Wish us luck. We met upon the level. |
00:27:15 |
And we're parting on the square. |
00:27:19 |
Good luck, indeed. |
00:27:27 |
Come along, you ugly beast. |
00:27:35 |
Wait! |
00:27:39 |
Here. Take this. |
00:28:03 |
Last time Danny and me came through |
00:28:08 |
...yard by bloody yard... |
00:28:11 |
...and General Bobbs |
00:28:14 |
But that was years ago. |
00:28:17 |
- Blast! Look who's on sentry! |
00:28:22 |
That loudmouthed mick |
00:28:25 |
Private Mulvaney! Come to attention |
00:28:30 |
Slope arms! |
00:28:33 |
Present! March! |
00:28:37 |
Mark time! |
00:28:40 |
At the double! |
00:28:48 |
Corporal of the guard! |
00:28:51 |
Take three men and put |
00:28:55 |
Bloody man's drunk again! |
00:28:57 |
We came through the Khyber |
00:29:01 |
...doing all sorts of antics |
00:29:04 |
At night, he told them their fortunes |
00:29:08 |
...and I translated. |
00:29:10 |
And all concerned were happy... |
00:29:12 |
...because I promised them |
00:29:29 |
Then at Jaedallak we turned off |
00:29:34 |
They were sad to see us leave |
00:29:39 |
Two she-camels had foaled and there |
00:29:46 |
They waved goodbye to the mad priest |
00:29:50 |
And Danny danced them out of sight. |
00:30:04 |
The country was deserty. |
00:30:09 |
We travelled by night |
00:30:12 |
We didn't want to waste ammunition |
00:31:00 |
The Pushtukan. |
00:31:04 |
A wavy blue line on the map, but we |
00:31:09 |
So Peachy says, |
00:31:14 |
...we'll trade them for goats. |
00:31:19 |
Major McCrimmon bet me 10 bob he could |
00:31:24 |
He did. Though he'd sat down |
00:31:28 |
Ten shillings was ten shillings |
00:32:01 |
Mules. |
00:32:05 |
Now, the problem is... |
00:32:09 |
...how to divide five Afghans |
00:32:13 |
...and have two Englishmen left over. |
00:32:17 |
No. The mules would bolt. |
00:32:24 |
Sit over there, Danny. |
00:34:44 |
So we starts forward into those |
00:34:48 |
...and never a path broader |
00:35:00 |
The mountains was tall and white... |
00:35:04 |
...like wild rams, |
00:35:07 |
...so you couldn't sleep |
00:35:35 |
For God's sake, Danny, pipe down. |
00:35:37 |
- Why? Who's going to hear us? |
00:35:42 |
- You wanna start an avalanche? |
00:35:46 |
If a king can't sing, |
00:35:53 |
The country was mountainous... |
00:35:55 |
...and the mules was most contrary. |
00:35:59 |
And she died later on. |
00:36:02 |
Danny went snow-blind |
00:36:07 |
Up and up we went, |
00:36:11 |
Through defiles and over snowy saddles |
00:36:16 |
...two giants stood in our way. |
00:36:25 |
God's holy trousers. |
00:36:28 |
What's the matter? |
00:36:29 |
Blokes twice our size standing |
00:36:34 |
Give them a round apiece. |
00:36:45 |
Not a move out of them. |
00:36:47 |
Stay put. |
00:36:49 |
I'll reconnoitre. |
00:36:59 |
They're not real, thank God. |
00:37:01 |
They're horrible. |
00:37:05 |
Put there by the Kafiris |
00:37:09 |
Peachy, that means |
00:37:14 |
So it does. |
00:37:17 |
- What was that? |
00:37:22 |
What do you mean? |
00:37:24 |
The bridge we crossed by |
00:37:27 |
God. |
00:37:44 |
Now what? |
00:37:46 |
- Tell me. |
00:37:49 |
We've had it, Danny. |
00:37:52 |
- Wide? |
00:37:54 |
It drops into nothing below, |
00:38:01 |
That's the last of them, Peachy. |
00:38:07 |
It looks like last post, Danny. |
00:38:12 |
I don't fancy dying by inches. |
00:38:16 |
- Getting all numb. |
00:38:21 |
...when the fire goes out. |
00:38:25 |
Bloody shame. |
00:38:27 |
Getting this close and not making it. |
00:38:31 |
A stone's throw away, our kingdom. |
00:38:37 |
I'd have liked to seen you, Danny, |
00:38:41 |
If you could've found one |
00:38:46 |
Peachy, in your opinion... |
00:38:50 |
...have our lives been misspent? |
00:38:55 |
Well, that depends |
00:38:58 |
The world's not a better |
00:39:01 |
No, hardly that. |
00:39:03 |
- Nobody's gonna weep at our demise. |
00:39:07 |
And we haven't many good deeds |
00:39:11 |
None. None to brag about. |
00:39:15 |
But how many have been |
00:39:17 |
...and seen what we've seen? |
00:39:21 |
Even now, I wouldn't change places |
00:39:26 |
...if it meant giving up my memories. |
00:39:31 |
Remember the time the Highlanders |
00:39:35 |
...at Ali Masjit and Pipe Major |
00:39:41 |
Half a crown was in it, right? |
00:39:43 |
So he goes after it without checking |
00:39:48 |
And then he got the Victoria Cross... |
00:39:51 |
...because the Highlanders |
00:40:40 |
Danny, we can get on! |
00:41:09 |
Kafiristan. |
00:41:12 |
The promised land. |
00:43:04 |
Must be their Halloween. |
00:43:16 |
Upsadaisy, lad. |
00:43:33 |
Brass band and all. |
00:43:46 |
Bloody cheek. Where's their gratitude? |
00:43:49 |
I say! I say there! |
00:43:53 |
Are you Englishmen, please? |
00:43:56 |
Stone the bleeding crows! |
00:44:00 |
- And who might you be? |
00:44:24 |
Peachy, it's a Gurkha. |
00:44:27 |
Rifleman Machendra Gurung. |
00:44:31 |
Is that right? Well, report, rifleman. |
00:44:34 |
What are you doing here? |
00:44:37 |
- I come with Colonel Robertson, sir. |
00:44:41 |
Oh, dear me, alas, by Jove. |
00:44:43 |
Party not reaching Er-Heb |
00:44:46 |
Large mountain is falling on everyone. |
00:44:50 |
Everybody buried alive |
00:44:54 |
What about them up there |
00:44:58 |
...and then shooting arrows at us? |
00:45:00 |
Big noise to scare away devils! |
00:45:03 |
- Many devils here these days. |
00:45:07 |
Kafiristan peoples very ignorant. |
00:45:09 |
I say to head man Ootah, I say, |
00:45:14 |
...they're Gorasahibs. |
00:45:17 |
Good man, Billy Fish. |
00:45:19 |
And now, if you'll take us |
00:45:22 |
...we will begin his education. |
00:45:41 |
People of Er-Heb, do not fear. |
00:45:44 |
They are our friends, not our enemies. |
00:45:48 |
Do you understand? |
00:45:52 |
There is no need to fear. |
00:45:58 |
Why are you so afraid? |
00:46:03 |
They're from England! |
00:46:06 |
White men. |
00:46:09 |
Ootah! |
00:46:11 |
Come on down. |
00:46:13 |
No need to be afraid. |
00:46:19 |
Come down! |
00:46:23 |
Don't be afraid. |
00:46:41 |
Tell him we won't hurt him, |
00:47:02 |
He wants to know where you come from. |
00:47:04 |
Tell him we tumbled from the skies. |
00:47:13 |
He wants to know, are you gods? |
00:47:15 |
Not gods, Englishmen, |
00:47:23 |
I ofttimes tell Ootah |
00:47:26 |
How they name dogs, |
00:47:29 |
...and march left, right |
00:47:33 |
Bringing enlightenment |
00:47:39 |
He wants to know how rifle works. |
00:47:46 |
Show him, Peachy. |
00:48:00 |
We are not gods, exactly, |
00:48:04 |
...to deliver you from your enemies. |
00:48:12 |
Enemies all around. |
00:48:15 |
The Bashkai are the worst. |
00:48:22 |
All town comes out and pisses |
00:48:26 |
Shocking! |
00:48:30 |
They are always stealing our womans. |
00:48:34 |
Putting on masks. |
00:48:38 |
And so our head chap |
00:48:41 |
...and running like bloody hell away. |
00:48:48 |
He give you two goats for each |
00:48:55 |
One goat for each womans and childs. |
00:48:58 |
Rather than knock them over |
00:49:01 |
...we'd like to do it |
00:49:03 |
Serve him up a proper victory. |
00:49:13 |
He says, "How much?" |
00:49:15 |
Only the honour of leading |
00:49:25 |
And what we fancy in souvenirs. |
00:49:28 |
- A bauble here and a bangle there. |
00:49:34 |
We hope to go on from victory to |
00:49:40 |
And a monarch of all you survey. |
00:49:46 |
- All he surveys? |
00:49:52 |
The mountains will echo your name. |
00:49:58 |
Ootah the Great! |
00:50:09 |
Oh, he says he prefers |
00:50:11 |
Then Ootah the Terrible it shall be. |
00:50:20 |
And take him in token of our earnest. |
00:50:27 |
And now the womans of Er-Heb |
00:50:31 |
Couldn't happen in a better cause. |
00:51:20 |
- Contract. |
00:51:30 |
Ootah say, "You, you no like?" |
00:51:33 |
Tell him we've given up strong drink |
00:51:48 |
Boil them once or twice in hot water... |
00:51:51 |
...and they'll come out |
00:51:53 |
You wouldn't know them from the |
00:52:00 |
- Ootah says, "Take your pick." |
00:52:06 |
Oh, tell His Majesty one's prettier |
00:52:12 |
Take as many as you like. |
00:52:16 |
He has 27 daughters. |
00:52:18 |
They're his daughters? |
00:52:22 |
- Dirty old brute! |
00:52:26 |
Mustn't be prejudiced, Peachy. |
00:52:29 |
Tell His Majesty we've also taken |
00:52:34 |
...till all his enemies |
00:52:46 |
He has 32 sons if you're liking boys. |
00:52:52 |
Tell him he makes my gorge rise! |
00:52:54 |
Hold on, Peachy, he's only being |
00:53:06 |
Polo! |
00:53:37 |
Everything's the same. |
00:53:40 |
- Is the ball always that big? |
00:53:44 |
Big head, big ball. |
00:53:48 |
The bloody heathens. |
00:53:50 |
Different countries, different customs. |
00:53:56 |
Now, listen to me, |
00:54:01 |
We're gonna teach you soldiering, |
00:54:06 |
When we're done, you'll be able to |
00:54:12 |
But first, you'll have to learn |
00:54:16 |
...do the manual of arms |
00:54:20 |
Good soldiers don't think, |
00:54:25 |
You think if a man thought twice, |
00:54:30 |
Not bloody likely! |
00:54:34 |
One look at your foolish faces... |
00:54:37 |
...tells me you're going to be |
00:54:41 |
Him there with a 51l2 hat size |
00:54:54 |
Timing in the British Army |
00:54:59 |
One, two, three. |
00:55:03 |
Say after me, "One, two, three." |
00:55:09 |
Wait. Ready, steady, go. |
00:55:12 |
One, two, three. |
00:55:14 |
One, two, three. |
00:55:17 |
Say it at the same time as the others. |
00:55:26 |
Right. Go! |
00:55:27 |
One, two, three. |
00:55:29 |
One, two, three. |
00:55:31 |
Billy, tell him to say it |
00:55:35 |
One, two, three. Right. |
00:55:38 |
One, two, three. |
00:55:40 |
No! He's saying it |
00:55:43 |
Not before them, not after them, |
00:55:48 |
Right. Attention! |
00:55:52 |
No. You, look... |
00:55:56 |
That one goes to there! Say that one |
00:56:02 |
Down there, like that. |
00:56:04 |
There. There we are. |
00:56:24 |
Come on, smarten up, |
00:56:27 |
Attention! |
00:56:29 |
That's better. |
00:56:31 |
Troops, march! |
00:56:36 |
By the left. Quick. March! |
00:56:40 |
Left. Left. Left, right, left. |
00:56:55 |
Wait. You're a handsome piece, |
00:56:59 |
...but the contract states the party |
00:57:03 |
...and the party of the second part, |
00:57:08 |
...shall nowise compromise ourselves... |
00:57:10 |
...with parties of the third part, |
00:57:14 |
All binding, properly sworn to... |
00:57:17 |
...witnessed and attested. |
00:57:21 |
- Danny! |
00:57:24 |
Thank God you arrived. |
00:57:26 |
Let's go seek safety in battle. |
00:57:55 |
Trumpeter, sound your trumpet! |
00:58:29 |
Billy Fish. |
00:58:33 |
Blood is what we want. |
00:58:37 |
So it shall be! |
00:58:42 |
Like old times, Peachy. |
00:58:45 |
It's a good job the odds |
00:59:00 |
Halt! |
00:59:05 |
Line up in a straight line here. |
00:59:26 |
Present! |
00:59:29 |
Aim! |
00:59:59 |
Who are they? |
01:00:01 |
What's happening? |
01:00:03 |
Very holy men. |
01:00:05 |
They walk through Kafiristan |
01:00:10 |
Battle is postponed |
01:00:16 |
- Why are their eyes closed? |
01:00:20 |
...so keep eyes closed until they |
01:00:54 |
Fire! |
01:00:59 |
Aim! Fire! |
01:01:06 |
Charge! Come on. |
01:01:10 |
Oh, that great bloody showoff! |
01:01:13 |
Rifle section, form line! |
01:01:37 |
Advance! |
01:01:39 |
Volley fire! Commence! |
01:01:43 |
Charge! |
01:03:20 |
What did you think you were |
01:03:24 |
- I got carried away. Blood was up. |
01:03:29 |
...hoping to be mentioned |
01:03:32 |
- You ought to be ashamed! |
01:03:35 |
Supposing you got killed. |
01:03:38 |
- Won't happen again. |
01:03:41 |
- Why are you carrying that arrow? |
01:03:51 |
Hold on! |
01:03:53 |
What's he up to? |
01:04:05 |
He say he win this big battle. |
01:04:09 |
...he lop off their heads. |
01:04:12 |
I never saw him in the |
01:04:15 |
There's no prisoner ex ecutions |
01:04:18 |
Tell him to put that sword away. |
01:04:25 |
He says once sword unsheathed, |
01:04:29 |
Just as I thought. |
01:04:37 |
He says watch out or he get very angry |
01:04:53 |
All right. Up you get. |
01:04:57 |
No more grovelling. |
01:05:00 |
We aren't gonna torch your city... |
01:05:02 |
...or hang you in chains, |
01:05:07 |
Tell them to divide their goods in half |
01:05:17 |
Henceforth, let the men of Er-Heb |
01:05:23 |
Brothers in arms. |
01:05:25 |
Let them march under one banner |
01:05:35 |
Have the Bashkai any enemies |
01:05:41 |
Oh, enemies all around! |
01:05:43 |
Bhardoks, Ghundaras, Shus, Khawaks. |
01:05:49 |
The Bhardoks piss downstream |
01:05:54 |
Shocking! |
01:05:55 |
We'll strike them |
01:06:04 |
Silver bracelet, 10 shillings. |
01:06:07 |
A good heavy necklace of the same, |
01:06:12 |
Earring with bangles. |
01:06:15 |
One pig sticker with plain handle. |
01:06:19 |
A gold coin worn pretty thin. |
01:06:24 |
A rosy red ring |
01:06:28 |
All this should fetch |
01:06:32 |
Not too bad for the back of beyond. |
01:06:36 |
Sikander! |
01:06:38 |
They're calling for you. |
01:06:41 |
For me? |
01:07:04 |
Sikander. Sikander. |
01:07:07 |
What does Sikander mean, Billy? |
01:07:10 |
Sikander a god. Come here |
01:07:14 |
That's the bloke Kipling told us about. |
01:07:18 |
Alexander? |
01:07:19 |
Alexander. Sikander. |
01:07:22 |
Here. |
01:07:23 |
- Alexander. |
01:07:26 |
Sikandergul, high in mountains. |
01:07:30 |
All people worship him. |
01:07:32 |
Then one day, time comes, |
01:07:36 |
People pull their hair out, |
01:07:39 |
So Sikander promised to send back son. |
01:07:43 |
328 B.C., encyclopaedia said. |
01:07:47 |
They saw arrow go into Danny's chest, |
01:07:54 |
So? |
01:07:55 |
So, son of Sikander. |
01:07:59 |
They think I'm a god? |
01:08:04 |
A god! Put your foot out |
01:08:09 |
- You may kiss my royal arse. |
01:08:13 |
- You're a deity, remember? |
01:08:15 |
- Yes, Billy? |
01:08:19 |
No, he's a man like us. He can |
01:08:24 |
Which I bet is more |
01:08:27 |
But the arrow. |
01:08:31 |
The arrow stuck in the bandolier. |
01:08:34 |
You better tell them. And my dad's |
01:08:39 |
...and he was a bar steward in Durham! |
01:08:42 |
Hang on, Danny. |
01:08:54 |
- Maybe we're missing a bet. |
01:08:57 |
Supposing you was an ignorant Kafiri... |
01:09:00 |
...who would you rather follow, |
01:09:04 |
Now, we're here to conquer |
01:09:08 |
Well, with you as a god, it would take |
01:09:13 |
The idea is a bit blasphemous like. |
01:09:16 |
No, Danny... |
01:09:17 |
...blaspheming is when |
01:09:23 |
...God Almighty's. |
01:09:26 |
What if they found out |
01:09:29 |
Why should they? |
01:09:31 |
We won't tell them. |
01:09:36 |
- You won't tell them, will you, Billy? |
01:09:47 |
Polo. |
01:09:50 |
Polo. |
01:10:14 |
Er-Heb and Bashkai |
01:10:17 |
- With whose head? |
01:10:31 |
We marched and fought and took |
01:10:36 |
They were well trained, but with Danny |
01:10:41 |
...they were also inspired. |
01:11:58 |
Sikander! Sikander! |
01:12:04 |
After half a dozen victories, |
01:12:08 |
...that the fighting stopped. |
01:12:11 |
...and bevies of maidens |
01:12:56 |
Girl. |
01:13:14 |
Venus de Milo in the flesh, |
01:13:17 |
...and not Guinness and champagne. |
01:13:20 |
...tell her to stand up |
01:13:32 |
Just gazing, Peachy. Just gazing. |
01:13:36 |
Just enjoying beauty for its own sake. |
01:13:39 |
Being only human, |
01:13:43 |
Give her a hat with a feather, and |
01:13:48 |
...could hold a candle to her. |
01:13:51 |
I must admit... |
01:13:53 |
...she really is an eyeful. |
01:13:57 |
What's your name, girl? |
01:14:01 |
- Roxanne. |
01:14:03 |
Here. |
01:14:04 |
Wasn't that the name of the princess |
01:14:08 |
It was that. |
01:14:17 |
Hold your head up. |
01:14:28 |
- Girl afraid. |
01:14:31 |
If god takes a girl, she catches fire |
01:14:35 |
- They do what? |
01:14:39 |
His veins run fire, not blood. |
01:14:45 |
In one flash. |
01:14:46 |
Not even ashes left. |
01:14:48 |
I bet a jealous goddess made that up. |
01:15:13 |
They come from Sikandergul... |
01:15:15 |
...with a message for son of Sikander. |
01:15:19 |
They're looking at him, |
01:15:28 |
- The message's from Kafu Selim. |
01:15:31 |
Kafu Selim, high priest of Kafiristan. |
01:15:37 |
What's the message? |
01:15:41 |
Kafu Selim says come. |
01:15:44 |
Come? |
01:15:46 |
- Is that all? |
01:15:49 |
Doesn't waste words, does he? |
01:15:52 |
Tell him we appreciate the invitation. |
01:15:56 |
...one of these days. |
01:16:02 |
What does he want to see us about? |
01:16:05 |
He just says come. |
01:16:07 |
I see. |
01:16:09 |
All right, tell him to stand by and |
01:16:20 |
He says, |
01:16:23 |
Without the army? |
01:16:25 |
Tell him Peachy and me don't go |
01:16:31 |
Shut up, Danny. |
01:16:35 |
We have to go. |
01:16:36 |
Have you gone starky? |
01:16:38 |
Keep your voice down and put a smile |
01:16:44 |
We'd be stone bonkers to walk into |
01:16:49 |
Either we do what they say |
01:16:53 |
Make a beeline for the mountains |
01:16:57 |
Run? Not bloody likely. |
01:17:01 |
No... |
01:17:02 |
...from our blokes. |
01:17:06 |
If we back away from a meeting with |
01:17:10 |
...and that is the one thing |
01:17:15 |
What to do? |
01:17:17 |
Bluff it out. |
01:17:19 |
Polish our buttons, stuff ramrods |
01:17:24 |
Like we did when we were on charges |
01:18:17 |
- Sikandergul. |
01:18:55 |
No weapons allowed in Holy City. |
01:20:19 |
All right... |
01:20:20 |
...you got us here. |
01:20:23 |
Now what? |
01:20:30 |
Where's your high panjandrum? |
01:20:51 |
Afternoon, Your Reverence. |
01:21:07 |
Tell him he can keep it. |
01:21:20 |
- What did he say? |
01:21:29 |
You mortals wait down there. |
01:21:57 |
Tell them to take their |
01:22:00 |
...or I'll have their guts for garters! |
01:22:04 |
...and feed them to the kites! |
01:22:07 |
How dare you lay your hands on me, |
01:22:15 |
Sikander! |
01:22:48 |
Now what the bleeding hell? |
01:22:51 |
One minute he's about to |
01:22:54 |
...next minute he's |
01:22:57 |
He saw that... |
01:23:00 |
...and dropped like he was poleax ed! |
01:23:05 |
He says that is mark of Sikander. |
01:23:38 |
They're Masons! |
01:23:40 |
By the square, level, plumb rule, |
01:23:45 |
The craft, Danny! |
01:23:47 |
- That's what saved us. |
01:23:53 |
Only highest priest knows |
01:23:57 |
...put in stone long ago by Sikander. |
01:24:00 |
Now, Kafu Selim rejoicing |
01:28:04 |
It ain't brass, Danny. |
01:28:33 |
- Sikander? |
01:28:46 |
These here... |
01:28:48 |
...make jewels in the Tower of London |
01:29:03 |
God's holy trousers! |
01:29:12 |
Look at the size of that ruby! |
01:29:21 |
There's a bigger one. |
01:29:24 |
Why, Danny... |
01:29:25 |
...we only have to fill our pockets and |
01:29:31 |
And all of it, all... |
01:29:35 |
...would make us the |
01:29:39 |
- The empire. |
01:29:44 |
But will they let us take it? |
01:29:47 |
Take it away, I mean. |
01:29:52 |
Ask him, Billy. |
01:30:03 |
He says, belong to son of Sikander. |
01:30:07 |
Leave it here, |
01:30:10 |
His will be done. |
01:30:13 |
We've mules enough, and riflemen |
01:30:19 |
What month is it? |
01:30:21 |
January, I make it... |
01:30:22 |
...or maybe February. |
01:30:27 |
...four months of |
01:30:31 |
Four long months! |
01:30:34 |
What'll we do with the time? |
01:30:36 |
Add up our blessings here... |
01:30:39 |
...divide them by two... |
01:30:41 |
...not forgetting you, Billy. |
01:30:44 |
And multiply that by the |
01:30:50 |
Tell His Reverence... |
01:30:51 |
...he has my thanks for discharging |
01:30:57 |
...and delivering to me what is mine. |
01:31:02 |
And tell him I'm also grateful |
01:31:07 |
...who waited for me, |
01:31:11 |
...down the centuries to this |
01:31:26 |
My lord, these people |
01:31:32 |
This man owns 60 cows. |
01:31:36 |
- Very enterprising of him. |
01:31:42 |
She's his wife. Every time |
01:31:46 |
...other man has to pay |
01:31:50 |
Use other man's wife, |
01:31:53 |
He's piled up |
01:31:56 |
...out of her infidelities? |
01:32:01 |
She ain't a wife. |
01:32:06 |
And these are the unfaithful |
01:32:11 |
Those four, wives of one man. |
01:32:17 |
This ain't no laughing matter! |
01:32:20 |
No cattle, there ain't meat nor |
01:32:24 |
...butter or cheese and the |
01:32:28 |
Outrageous, it is! |
01:32:31 |
Now... |
01:32:34 |
For encouraging his wife to comport |
01:32:38 |
...one cow shall be paid |
01:32:42 |
For using a good law for |
01:32:45 |
For causing the young |
01:32:49 |
For thinking he can |
01:32:53 |
He shall pay 22 cases of compensation |
01:32:58 |
Which means, she's got... |
01:33:04 |
- Fourteen and two-thirds. |
01:33:07 |
...to come out even. |
01:33:10 |
Let's see how he likes it when she |
01:33:34 |
- What's the charge? |
01:33:37 |
This chief from Agatsi which |
01:33:40 |
...and supply of grains go up in smoke. |
01:33:44 |
...to raid another village for |
01:33:47 |
They don't have to raid and they won't |
01:33:52 |
- What number is it? |
01:33:55 |
Each village will bring |
01:33:59 |
...to my royal city of Sikandergul |
01:34:04 |
Henceforth, any village |
01:34:08 |
...shall have grain issued |
01:34:12 |
I now pronounce this law enacted. |
01:34:15 |
I pronounce a recess in this durbar. |
01:34:18 |
- Yes, my lord. |
01:34:25 |
If we're gonna make |
01:34:29 |
...you ought to bow when you pass |
01:34:36 |
- All right, Danny. |
01:34:38 |
- For appearances' sake. |
01:34:42 |
- No offense? |
01:34:54 |
You have to take your |
01:34:58 |
He dealt out justice |
01:35:02 |
Peachy was general of his armies, but |
01:35:08 |
Danny had him build a bridge that would |
01:35:13 |
It'd help keep Peachy occupied |
01:35:37 |
Look, Danny, the geese. |
01:35:41 |
A fortnight and the pass will open. |
01:35:46 |
...high up on the mountain |
01:35:57 |
- I ain't going, Peachy. |
01:36:03 |
- You heard me. |
01:36:06 |
Correct. |
01:36:08 |
Have you gone barmy? |
01:36:11 |
No, I ain't been drinking neither. |
01:36:17 |
I see things clear. |
01:36:20 |
It's like bandages have been |
01:36:26 |
Have you ever walked |
01:36:30 |
...and it's like |
01:36:34 |
- I know what you mean. |
01:36:37 |
This isn't the first time |
01:36:42 |
There's more to this |
01:36:45 |
It all adds up. |
01:36:48 |
What does? |
01:36:50 |
Everything that's happened from the |
01:36:55 |
No, before that... |
01:36:57 |
...beginning with your taking |
01:37:02 |
More than chance has been |
01:37:07 |
Why his watch and not somebody else's? |
01:37:10 |
And what made him give me the emblem? |
01:37:13 |
One thing after the other. |
01:37:16 |
The avalanche, the arrow... |
01:37:19 |
...the mark on the stone... |
01:37:21 |
...not to mention another Roxanne. |
01:37:26 |
The same. |
01:37:28 |
One more thing is needful |
01:37:33 |
- I take her to wife. |
01:37:37 |
Who's talking women? |
01:37:39 |
- A queen to breed a king's son. |
01:37:43 |
The contract lasted until we was |
01:37:48 |
The first king since Alexander, the |
01:37:54 |
- 14. |
01:37:57 |
Him... |
01:37:59 |
...and now me! |
01:38:03 |
They call me his son and I am... |
01:38:06 |
...in spirit anyway. |
01:38:09 |
It's a hugeous responsibility. |
01:38:12 |
The bridge is the first of many. |
01:38:17 |
A nation I shall make of it |
01:38:21 |
I shall treat on equal terms the viceroy |
01:38:25 |
When I've accomplished what I set out |
01:38:30 |
...not kneel, mind you, but stand |
01:38:36 |
"Please accept the Order of the Garter |
01:38:42 |
She'll pin it on me herself. |
01:38:48 |
And I tell you, you need a physic! |
01:38:52 |
I'm fair disappointed in you. |
01:38:54 |
You, who followed me and |
01:38:57 |
Followed you, me? Who had hold |
01:39:02 |
The jenny also done her bit. |
01:39:05 |
Danny! We've had this rare streak |
01:39:10 |
- Cut and run while the running's good. |
01:39:16 |
Ha, ha! Pardon me |
01:39:22 |
Whatever you may think and however you |
01:39:26 |
So don't you provoke me, |
01:39:30 |
Or you'll do what? |
01:39:31 |
You've got me trembling |
01:39:38 |
- You have permission to bugger off! |
01:39:43 |
...bleeding permission! |
01:39:48 |
And may you rot in hell, Daniel Dravot! |
01:39:52 |
From Sikander the First to the Second |
01:39:57 |
...and a country needs a king |
01:40:01 |
One is the glory of the other. |
01:40:04 |
Therefore, I shall leave a son behind |
01:40:10 |
...so the succession will be unbroken |
01:40:17 |
To which end... |
01:40:19 |
...I have chosen a wife. |
01:40:22 |
Roxanne of Khawak. |
01:40:43 |
Let her be brought here |
01:40:47 |
I want flowers strewed |
01:40:50 |
The wedding ceremony will be |
01:40:55 |
Let messengers be sent forth and |
01:41:01 |
Selah. |
01:41:21 |
What are they saying? |
01:41:23 |
How can daughters |
01:41:27 |
- A god can do anything. |
01:41:30 |
- Who says it isn't? |
01:41:37 |
Would they put their word |
01:41:44 |
They say let lmbra decide. |
01:41:47 |
Imbra is highest god of all. |
01:41:50 |
And what if lmbra should |
01:41:54 |
What'll they do about it? |
01:41:57 |
Am I a dog or a god? |
01:41:59 |
Haven't I put the shadow of my hand |
01:42:05 |
Do as I say! Send for the girl! |
01:42:07 |
Tell them that's an order! |
01:42:32 |
- Well, Billy, what's going on? |
01:42:37 |
Priests open up birds, green inside and |
01:42:42 |
They probably cut the spleen. |
01:42:47 |
Don't worry, Billy, the girl won't go |
01:42:52 |
Girl don't matter. |
01:42:56 |
Few girls more or less... |
01:42:58 |
...but cows now, they dry up |
01:43:04 |
And corn do not ripen. |
01:43:07 |
Everybody go hungry. |
01:43:08 |
Now, Billy, you know as well as I do |
01:43:15 |
He told you about the arrow. |
01:43:17 |
But then, priests must |
01:43:21 |
He not angry because... |
01:43:24 |
...god marrying a mortal |
01:43:28 |
...pretend to be a god. |
01:45:07 |
Roxanne, don't be afraid... |
01:45:10 |
...I wouldn't harm you. |
01:45:12 |
When the time comes, |
01:45:17 |
All women should when |
01:45:20 |
But you won't perish, girl, |
01:46:47 |
Well, Danny... |
01:46:49 |
...the time has come, |
01:46:52 |
When do you leave? |
01:46:54 |
At first light. |
01:46:56 |
I thought you might look in the |
01:47:01 |
- See what I'm taking. |
01:47:04 |
I weighed the gold out, pound for |
01:47:09 |
Right. |
01:47:12 |
I'll only need half the |
01:47:15 |
I'd like to take 20 riflemen |
01:47:20 |
Take them. |
01:47:29 |
God's holy trousers! |
01:47:35 |
What is that? |
01:47:42 |
They're savages here, one and all. |
01:47:45 |
Leave them to slaughtering babies, |
01:47:49 |
...and pissing on their neighbours. |
01:47:55 |
Please, Danny... |
01:47:59 |
...for the last time of asking... |
01:48:02 |
...come back with me. |
01:48:05 |
For the last time of answering, |
01:48:08 |
I know you've got my best |
01:48:12 |
...but the choice has been made. |
01:48:14 |
Well, I'll be seeing you, then? |
01:48:18 |
In London maybe... |
01:48:22 |
...when the queen gives you |
01:48:35 |
- Peachy. |
01:48:37 |
I'll be married midmorning. |
01:48:39 |
Could you not wait |
01:48:42 |
See me up the aisle |
01:48:47 |
If you like. |
01:50:56 |
Peachy, the ring. |
01:51:02 |
I, Sikander the Second, |
01:51:06 |
...Roxanne, to be |
01:51:09 |
...and queen of Kafiristan. |
01:51:31 |
She bit me! |
01:51:36 |
The slut bit me! |
01:52:03 |
What's he saying? |
01:52:05 |
Danny's bleeding, they know! |
01:52:10 |
They've twigged it, Danny. |
01:52:16 |
The jig's up! |
01:52:17 |
- I, Sikander... |
01:52:23 |
We've got to brass it out, Danny. |
01:52:35 |
Bags of swank. |
01:53:13 |
We'll get your riflemen and |
01:53:26 |
A drenching in their own blood |
01:53:31 |
Too many for that, Danny. |
01:53:34 |
Retire? Retire be damned! |
01:53:36 |
We've gotta make a run for it! |
01:53:41 |
Front section... |
01:53:44 |
...fire! |
01:53:47 |
Back! |
01:53:50 |
Front rank, fire! |
01:53:55 |
Break ranks! |
01:55:40 |
Mount the mule and ride! |
01:55:44 |
Gurkha foot soldier, not cavalry. |
01:55:47 |
Rifleman Machendra Bahadur Gurung |
01:56:19 |
Out of bloody ammo! |
01:56:21 |
Me too! |
01:56:42 |
I'm heartily ashamed |
01:56:46 |
...instead of going home rich... |
01:56:48 |
...on account of me being so |
01:56:53 |
Can you forgive me? |
01:56:57 |
That I can, and that I do, Danny. |
01:57:01 |
Free and full and |
01:57:05 |
Everything's all right, then. |
01:58:13 |
Cut, you buggers, cut! |
01:59:03 |
And old Danny fell round |
01:59:09 |
...like a penny whirligig. |
01:59:13 |
It took him half an hour to fall |
01:59:19 |
And do you know what |
01:59:24 |
They crucified him, sir... |
01:59:28 |
...between two pine trees... |
01:59:31 |
...as Peachy's hands will show. |
01:59:37 |
Poor Peachy, who'd never |
01:59:41 |
He just hung there and he screamed, |
01:59:45 |
The next day they came |
01:59:48 |
...and said it's a miracle he wasn't |
01:59:54 |
And Peachy come home |
01:59:58 |
...and the mountains they tried |
02:00:03 |
...but he was quite safe |
02:00:10 |
And Daniel never let go |
02:00:17 |
And Peachy never let go |
02:00:23 |
His head? |
02:00:25 |
You knew Danny, sir. |
02:00:27 |
Oh, yes. |
02:00:30 |
You knew most worshipful Brother... |
02:00:36 |
...Daniel Dravot, Esquire. |
02:00:39 |
Well... |
02:00:42 |
...he became the king of Kafiristan... |
02:00:47 |
...with a crown on his head. |
02:00:51 |
And that's all there is to tell. |
02:00:55 |
I've got urgent business in the South. |
02:00:58 |
I have to meet a man |
